Maybe I am going about this all wrong. At the moment the way I understand you start with freewheel, then spindle , then bottom bracket then crankset.

Hi Matt, I do not understand your question. I bought this crankset for an electric bike project. The previous crankset was geared to low.

Yes, this wasn't easy to put together. Had to use some force to put wheel assembly on. Try to straighten out as much as possible try again. If you bent the front forks might have to send back.

I am not sure of this but I think that Kreg tools and Triton are in partnership. So you can check with Kreg and see if they can point you in the right direction.. Also I'm sure you know this but make sure plunge lock is off. Also if it gets to low your crank handle will not reach the fitting that it goes into and just spin around. Hope I didn't insult your intelligence by some of the simple suggestions.

This crankset comes with a hollow style BB. There is a special tool that has the correct tooth profile, but I just used a strap wrench to tighten the cup in place. Its always a good idea to chase the BB threads with the correct tap, or have a local bike shop do it. After maybe 50 off road miles, I had a breakdown, but from my rear derailleur. While I had the bike apart I noticed the cranks were turning smoothly, but not freespinning, like there was some seal friction, so it may be wiser to either use a torque wrench to adjust/tighten the BB cups. Shimano always gives very specific instructions, so thats a plus. This crankset comes with a hollow style BB.

Sorry, I can't find a record of my Bottom Bracket order but would recommend checking out this page for advice.http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html

Yes , but you might have to change your whole drive train. I had to replace freewheel , chain and rear derailer to a deore. The crank arm is longer , I've heard peole complane about it . But I love the whole set .

Your spindle length may differ slightly. I installed my crank set on the existing 123 mm spindle I was using and it was just a little long. It would have been serviceable with slight adjustment to the front derailleur. I change the spindle out to a 5 mm shorter one I had in stock (118 mm) and the chain line alignment was perfect (50 mm offset). I would suggest trying it on your existing if you can and change it later if needed. If you need to buy a new one for this install, go with what Shimano's installation doc specifies as it would be the closest. Good luck!

If you want to put it together correctly you need to spend more time working on your new bike ,otherwise you are going to destroy the bike ,not only is to put the front wheel, handlebar, pedals, and saddle, you need to adjust gears ,brakes , rotors and check that every single bolt is tightened, also it doesn't matter which year is ,all bikes are the same procedure

I am not familiar with that bottom bracket. My fist question is : is that a square taper style bottom bracket? That's what you need at the most basic level . there are other factors that come into play : straight road bike style chInstays or MTB style chainstays .can you replace the spindle on that bottom bracket if nessary? That might be the only way to decide the correct spindle for your bike and the sugino crankset. Or... Quick answer : take the whole thing to your local bike shop to see what they might say. I hope this helps. Perhaps there are some other amazon customers out there with experience with this bottom bracket? I am not familiar with that bottom bracket.

I fully agree with this statement. I purchased this bike for the frame, fork, seat post, stem. I have had to upgrade the crankset, handlebars, seats, tires, tubes, peddles. They are not of quality. I now have to upgrade the bottom bracket as the bearings just shattered.

Yeah, we had to go by trial and error and never got the front brakes working. We are returning this bike and getting one from a store that is already pre built. The manual that came with the bike doesn't even tell you how to put it together (lame). It just explains what all different types of brake systems are and I guess is relying on the consumer to be well versed in bike engineering.

I am having this same issue. I just put the bike together (I believe correctly), but when I try to cycle the pedals they have so much resistance I cannot move them. Did you ever figure out how to fix this?

My answer is I don't know, but with an explanation. I use an electric motor instead of the crank.

I thought it was a weird question until I looked up "Bb68 73" and found this...Shimano XT SM-BB70 Hollowtech II Bottom BracketLooking at the pictures on the left...Now that's weird.

Check your old one. 97.2% of the time it's written right on the bracket cartridge unless your builder really cheaped out. OR If it's a new build it's based on what the crank calls for. The paperwork with the crank will tell you what you'd need for a proper chainline.

I'm sorry to say I can't help you with this. I don't know anything about that crankset, in particular. I will tell you this I am not real happy with the Avenir. It has already started clicking when i exert downward pressure on it. It's cheap enough that I don't feel ripped off but it's not a long lasting pedal.
